Kathy Mattea - Standing Knee Deep In A augmentedA River (Dying Of Thirst)



INTRO: C majorC E minorEm FF G+G C majorC  E minorEm FF G+G C majorC

        E minorEm    FF           C majorC
Friends I could count on, I could count on one hand
        FF     G+G  FF G+G C majorC
With a leftover finger or two
        E minorEm   FF         C majorC  FF
I took 'em for granted, let 'em all slip away
        G+G       C majorC   FF
Now where they are, I wish I knew

CHORUS:
G+G     C majorC E minorEm     A minorAm   C majorC FF
They roll by___ just like water
   G+G       C majorC   FF
And I guess we never learn
G+G     C majorC  E minorEm        A minorAm
Go through life___, parched and empty
     C majorC       FF   G+G
Standing knee deep in a river
       C majorC   E minorEm FF G+G C majorC
And dying of thirst


     E minorEm     FF         C majorC
Sometimes I remember, sweethearts I've known
       FF      G+G  FF G+G C majorC
Some I've forgotten I suppose
           E minorEm   FF         C majorC  FF
One or two will still linger, oh, and I wonder now
   G+G       C majorC  FF
Why I ever let them go


CHORUS:
G+G     C majorC E minorEm     A minorAm   C majorC FF
They roll by___ just like water
   G+G       C majorC   FF
And I guess we never learn
G+G     C majorC  E minorEm        A minorAm
Go through life___, parched and empty
     C majorC       FF   G+G
Standing knee deep in a river
       C majorC
And dying of thirst

So, the sidewalk is crowded, the city goes by
      F#F#       G#G#  F#F# G#G# C#C#
And I rush through another day
          F minorFm    F#F#         C#C#  F#F#
And a world full of strangers, turn their eyes to me
      G#G#       C#C#  F#F#
But I just look the other way


CHORUS:
G#G#    C#C# F minorFm      A#mA#m  C#C# F#F#
They roll by___ just like water
   G#G#       C#C#   F#F#
And I guess we never learn
G#G#     C#C# F minorFm        A#mA#m
Go through life___, parched and empty
     C#C#       F#F#   G#G#
Standing knee deep in a river
       C#C#   F#F#
And dying of thirst


CHORUS:
G#G#    C#C# F minorFm      A#mA#m  C#C# F#F#
They roll by___ just like water
   G#G#       C#C#   F#F#
And I guess we never learn
G#G#     C#C# F minorFm        A#mA#m
Go through life___, parched and empty
     C#C#       F#F#   G#G#
Standing knee deep in a river
